Customer Reviews
By Geoffrey Allan Laycock on 24th September 2025
"A recent addition to my growing collection of Lie Nielsen tools. It’s exactly the quality one expects from them. Wonderful to use of course and this particular size is more useful than you may think. If not doing any significant jointing I would suggest having a 101 block plane, a number 3 and a number 51/2. That should cover most work nicely. "
